"Ever fascinated by the self-destructive urges that make us human . . . Baudrillard claims that the technology of cloning, our many quests for sameness and facsimile, are symptoms of our inability to accept diversity . . . Rarely do words convey such urgency as on a page by Baudrillard." — The Los Angeles Times Book Review
